How Does Perindopril Erbumine 2mg Work

Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor that blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a chemical that narrows blood vessels. By reducing angiotensin II levels, Perindopril helps blood vessels relax and widen, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. It also reduces strain on the heart and protects the kidneys.
